The minimum is 850CCA each.... changed in pairs....... Wally mart has 1000CCA which members use. I only use Ford batteries and get about 5+ years out of a pair. Ford's are more expensive, but I need "reliable" up here in cold country.

I use two Optima Red Tops that have been incredible in terms of reserve capacity.

I left lights and accsessories on and still fired right up many hours later no sweat in cold weather.

When I installed my new IP, lift pump, fuel filter and aftermarket inline filter all at the same time; there was a LOT of air in the system and it took a lot of cranking to get it out but the batteries never gave up!!!

I went to Farm and Fleet and bought the Platinum battery that fit my truck. There's a little computer thingy that looks up the proper battery for your truck. I get all my batteries at farm and fleet, even though my Dad carries Interstate batteries at his shop.
